第一次是看见她为了上升而故作谦卑时。
第二次是看见她在瘸者面前跛行时。
第三次是让她在难易之间做选择，她选择了易时。
第四次是她犯了错，却自我安慰说别人也犯同样的错时。
第五次是她容忍了软弱，还将这容忍视作坚强时。
第六次是她鄙弃一张难看的面孔，却不知那还是她自己的另一面具时。
第七次是她高唱颂歌却自以为这是一件美德时。
The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height.
The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled.
The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy.
The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong.
The fifth time when she forbore for weakness, and attributed her patience to strength.
The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks.
And the seventh time when she sang a song of praise, and deemed it a virtue.
